But in writing a summary it forces me to go back through the chapters and try to make better sense of them. I find that I learn far more that way, and I’m more apt to remember it. <br /><br />I understand the “print copy” philosophy with this book. I had debated about getting it on my Kindle, but opted for the print copy precisely for the reason you said: Stott’s writing is too dense for me to read digitally—I need to see the words on the real page with a real highlighter in my hand and be able to flip back through those pages later. I do love my Kindle but it does have certain limitations for me when I study, at least mentally.Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-10996156438319476392011-09-15T20:05:26.951-05:002011-09-15T20:05:26.951-05:00Barbara,

Barbara (or her son's youth pastor) makes an excellent point about LWW, too.<br /><br />This book is so rich with content! I'm listening to the ChristianAudio recording while I do my PT work, but it's a book that demands repeated readings with pencil in hand, so the print copy is likely in my future.<br /><br />Thanks for the helpful ideas about comment conversations. Now I appreciate even more your effort at responding. Blessings to you and yours!tinuvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06462001159262770932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-90675215736915245012011-09-15T15:44:36.339-05:002011-09-15T15:44:36.339-05:00My son's youth pastor pointed out once that th...My son's youth pastor pointed out once that the situation in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe between Aslan and the White Witch over Edmubd's sin was more like #1 there, and that that wasn't how it really was -- God didn't owe the devil any satisfaction.<br /><br />I don't see God's satisfying the Law and His own justice as imprisoning Him, but rather as His being consistent with what He decreed. But I do agree that those are a part of the bigger picture, as you stated so well in #4 through the end.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
